Friday Chatterbox

[Blue Velvet]

It's Friday!

This thread's for spamming with aimless jibber jabber if you're getting in the weekend mood.*
After all, it's the full moon today at about 4pmGMT/11amEST.

It's the 12th of December. On this day in history:

• The first motel — the 'Motel Inn' — was opened in 1925 in San Luis Obispo, California, by Norman Bates.
• Frank Sinatra was born in Hoboken, N.J. in 1915. Blue eyes have never been the same.
• Joseph Hayne Rainey becomes the first black American sworn in to the House of Representatives in 1870. He was a Republican and he used to be a barber.
• In 1901, the first trans-Atlantic radio transmission was received. It was for extra cheese, no anchovies.

• This is a Christmas tree made from beer bottles... (http://ugly-christmas-trees.com/trees/beer-bottle/beer-bottle-tree.jpg)
• And this is a kitty demonstrating the principle of the working week. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hhW76BIwP4&)

I like the friday chatterbox. I also like cinnamon crunch bagels from St. Louis Bread Co. (Panera Bread). Too bad I only get one of the two today.

My cat's breath smells like cat food.

Is this a new thing? I don't think I have ever heard mention of a Friday chatterbox thread.

Holy crap that bagel sounds delicious.

I'm starting to regret not eating a proper dinner last night. :(

Oh, it is. You should treat yourself to one, jessica. Be sure to ask for it "bread-sliced," though.

That's no moon...

[letsgorangers]

Mmmm bagels. I just had a (very) berry bagel. Delicious and (very) pink.

As of tomorrow, I will be letsgorangers, M.A.! :)

[kainjow]

I tried hookah yesterday, and now I can still taste the orange flavor in my mouth. I guess it's better than leftover cigar taste...

I like this, you really stepped your game up BV.

I am glad it's Friday, we are having our office Christmas party today in an hour or so, and I am not going to do a damn thing until then since I worked until about 11pm last night getting some stuff filed.

For what it's worth, this full moon will be the largest of the year, appearing about 14% larger than usual.

It's the soap (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=583708) or lack thereof, can't remember which camp you fell into.

So why is it that every time I bring 2 clementines to work (small orange-like fruits) I either grab 2 mediocre ones or one good and one bad (never 2 good) and the first one I eat is always the good one, if there is a good one?

[NC MacGuy]

After a week and a half of looking at a lame-o artificial Christmas tree with almost no returning lights from last year, el-cheapo will purchase a real tree.

Or meander over to that new development a bit down the way.;)

[Dagless]

Probably spend the weekend breaking in my new MB, off to Trafford Centre tomorrow and might get one of them miniport adapter nonsense things.

And Have I got News for you. :)

[bartelby]

If the in-laws get up early enough to give us a lift to get the car I shall be going to get my 17" Apple Studio LCD display from the courier depot.

[jessica.]

^^ Love that old display. Classic Apple for sure.

My fortune cookie on Wednesday read

On Friday your creative side will shine forth with exceptional ideas.

so far I'm not feeling creative, nor have I had any exceptional ideas.

Of course I've also seen a fortune cookie that spoke of someone needing my social skills so I'm more than a little skeptical about their ability to predict the future. I mean, who really needs a guy to stand quietly in the corner drinking beer?

Speaking of lame fake Christmas trees. My grandmother shipped me out a miniature fake tree. It's like 2-3" tall. Every years I tell her I don't want any junk like this, as I usually end up throwing it away come spring after sitting in a box all winter. My mother told her I didn't want anything like this. She called and again I told her I did not want it. To the point I said "Grandma, I love the thought, I do, but I have no use for a fake Christmas tree and it will only end up in the trash". Then this week it came in and I just kicked it right down to storage.

Luckily I found a friend that would like the tree. I just hate throwing stuff like that away, things that are new in the box. Usually Salvation Army and Goodwill will stop taking Christmas related things around Christmas. So I am usually forced to either stock pile until next year or just throw it out.

So I get to go out in the cold today and deliver a fake tree to s friend. So I guess this year it did kind of work.

Can someone bring my iPhone in to get fixed? :D. It's all like, broken and such. Oh man the idea of going into a mall to get to an Apple store on a Friday in December sounds like a bad plan. :(. My phone is all discombobulated. err.

[Tilpots]

Of course I got 'em for you. I'm not sure what you're planning on doing with all that Spam, but what-evs.;)

Just think, without this thread I never would've known all that interesting stuff about a full moon. I'm really looking forward to it.

Today is my son's bday, so we're going to open presents and eat cake, and I'm having wine.:rolleyes: Wonder if there's any good movies on PPV? I need to get away from RL™ for a couple of hours.:o

Wow! That really sux! It's clear here; only a few clouds in the sky. It's going to be cold, but it should be a beautiful moon. I live in the country too, in the mountains, so no city lights to interfere.:p

I will try to remember to get my daughter to take some pics for you, k? We don't have a very good camera though.:o

[atszyman]

I just finished scouring my phone/cell and internet/TV bills to find anything I shouldn't be paying for after massive changes in service over the last 6 weeks...

I think I've figured it out, but I doubt they could make bills more confusing if they tried...

At least I get to go to a Hockey game tonight.

friday is a good day to go against the doctor's advice and have a drink

[Prof.]

So... someone added me as a friend on a social networking site. read my profile and saw i am gay and then deleted me.:mad:

That's MEAN!!!

Oh, it was a guy who added me.

So I guess mod life isn't the social networking site of the future huh? ;)


I'd like to know what the purpose of calling me and telling me to call back after 3 is.
I think I really need a drink!

No, that's not mean. Some ahole filled out a used car quote request to three different dealers. Used my cell phone number. Phone hasn't stopped ringing. Now that's mean.

[jessica.]

But I wanted a car just not the calls.

How do you now the reason he deleted you was that you were gay?

Ooops, that was your number.

[Prof.]

what else would be his reasoning?:confused:

[redwarrior]

:)

Cool!!

:)
Camera is ready! I will make bartelby smile tonight.:p

[TuffLuffJimmy]

what else would be his reasoning?:confused:

maybe he thought he knew you, then added you, then realized he didn't. It could have been any number of things. A lot of people hate Angels and Airwaves...


Why are you meeting people you don't know on the internet anyway?

You'd be surprised to know that a lot of people don't care one way or another if you're gay. It doesn't make you any more special than a straight person.

Same here, and snow is coming...

The guy that added me is an AVA fan - he is a premium member of their site. All the AVA fans add one another as a friend regardless if they know the person or not. With modlife, the purpose is to make new friends based on what type of music you and the other person like. However, if you wish, you can reject a friend request if you do not know the person and are not willing to add a stranger. Of the 200+ ppl I have on my friends list, I talk to about 120 of them on a weekly basis thru texting, AIM, Modmail, tagging etc.

You'd be surprised to know that a lot of people don't care one way or another if you're gay. It doesn't make you any more special than a straight person.
I just finished talking with my GF who is friends with the guy that added me, it turns out he really doesn't like gay guys. Sooooo my assumption was correct. :)

Oh yeah, she's redder than i am.:p I will, when i get the chance. Thank you.

you'll be surprised at how much they'll drop the price just to get the car off the lot

Anyone ever had your computer lag so that, when you're typing a post, it's appearing on the screen a full second (or two) after you've pressed the key? It's happening to me now. I think I'm going to make this post longer because watching it type is kind of fun.

That is all.

Also, snow Christmas eve forecast in NC! Woo! (Of course, 14 days out, so not too likely.)

Spotlight seems to want to index my hard drive every hour or so, takes about 40 minutes to index it all, so that leaves 20 minutes of clean, power driving computing, which is the stage I'm at atm :D
